[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the Republicans are sweeping in to leverage Asian American discontent.  15 states’ AGs supporting Miyares.

Self inflicted D wound. [/quote]

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like Republicans are only going to chip away at the traditional Asian-American support for Democrats among certain segments - primarily some (not all) of the higher-income Indian, Chinese, and Korean-American voters.  If anything, it seems like more middle and low-income Vietnamese, Filipino, and Pakistani kids will probably get into TJ under the new policy, especially given that the size of the TJ classes were expanded to 550 students.

Keep hoping.  TJ is just one issue.  Asians have been subject to increased street crimes in the Pandemic years and graphic images of grandmothers being beaten up are etched in people’ minds.  The law and order message will resonate with Asians of all ethnicities as well.  [/quote]

“Law and order” messages are nearly always crafted with the intent of weaponizing racial animus against Black and Hispanic people.

So yes, it would not surprise me if those resonate with a certain segment of Asian-Americans given what you hear from parent groups at TJ.[/quote]

Anti-asian hate crimes are real.  Hate crimes aren't a zero sum game.  Acknowledging it happens against one group doesn't take away from another group.  It's not a 1 at a time logic.[/quote]
